Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds?
There's no question that their later albums were not good, but I also have to wonder if the other members ever told Stipe to just shut up. I guess not, because he never did. By the end I was hating him. I've just reached the point in the last year...

I'm looking for a software or a website........
You must be kidding. Why would you sacrifice the authentic voice just to know what the lyrics mean? You can look up the lyrics and then have them translated.  
Finally upgrading my amp

Value of a preamp?
I agree with most above. And yes, there are very good solid state preamps.  
MoFi SACD of Joni Mitchell's "Blue"
I've been listening to that album/disc for 50 years, and I often think that there is a problem with microphone overload on the recording. There are moments when it really hurts your ears. Still worth it because it's a masterwork.

Then and than are often confused.  
Best Circa 90's CDP
If the budget it tight, the Pioneer PD 65 is a good one.   
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
@nonoise  You have to realize that this is the same character that called Ralph Karsten a liar regarding his experience as a musician and electronics designer. Trolling at its best.    
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
@nonoise Ignore him. He enjoys attacking respected members; probably because he knows he will never be one.
